Shared dotfile repository

! Moving to a canvas-based dotfile manager, see refactor branch for some updates

Dotfiles are managed by GNU stow internally; yadm to-be-evaluated

Installation

$ git clone git@github/path/to/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

# Full installation wizzard
$ ~/.dotfiles/dot.sh install

# Install a dotfile individually
$ ~/.dotfiles/dot.sh install audacious
$ ~/.dotfiles/dot.sh install shell
$ ~/.dotfiles/dot.sh install bash

# Per-dotfile installation via stow
$ stow -d $HOME/.dotfiles/ -t $HOME --ignore=install.sh audacious
$ stow -d $HOME/.dotfiles/ -t $HOME --ignore=install.sh shell
$ stow -d $HOME/.dotfiles/ -t $HOME --ignore=install.sh bash

Installation of the shell and bash modules will add two management aliaeses:

• dot: Alias for the dot installation utility
• dotfiles: Convenient wrapper for the git command to manage your dotfiles repository

Some dotfiles require additional installation steps(we don't ship fonts, another good example is oh-my-zsh), those can be installed individually by running install.sh from the respective dotfile directory. This file is excluded from the dotfile installation.

Usage
